This bathroom was in need of a makeover.  It had 4×4 builder-grade tile on the floor.  The shower was a tiny walk-in shower with a shower curtain and the vanity was extremely short with no counter space.  There was a linen closet that made the space feel crowded and closed off.  The ceiling required smoothing, new ventilation, and recessed lighting by the shower. Plus, the walls were in need of a fresh coat of paint.

What was the bathroom remodel process?

The first step in our renovation was to completely gut the entire bathroom, removing the linen closet to be able to create a larger shower.  We placed new drywall where the old shower and closet were ripped out.  Now, it was time to map the position of the new shower and install the tile; I chose a 4×12 navy blue ceramic tile with glaze.  The new shower remained in the same place as the previous shower so that we did not have to alter the plumbing. 

Next, we laid the bathroom flooring tile in a brick like pattern.  Marble Systems supplied this  beautiful 12×24 white porcelain tile with gray veining.  We selected a 1×1 tumbled marble for the shower floor to give it a natural look and prevent the surface from becoming slippery when wet.  

After priming the walls, we painted them Ben Moore AC-25 Harbor Gray to pull out the gray veins in the flooring.  We put in large glass panels for the shower door and neighboring wall to provide an open room that was once very closed off. We picked a large, single sink vanity with plenty of counter space and storage.  It was painted navy blue to complement the shower walls and topped with white carrera marble.  Additionally, a large mirror with white trim and a new vanity light was placed to continue in helping the bathroom appear big and bright.  Lastly, a brand new toilet and all chrome finishes were installed to match the sleekness of a brand new bathroom.  

Ta-da! You’ve seen the full bathroom remodel from reds to riches.
